2022 NHL Playoff Thread

[Troy McClure]

Good.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Is there any coach we like? It seems like I need to be rooting against all of them.

[slaps]

I love the fact that Kevin Weekes is now one of the most plugged-in media people. He rocks.

I'm down for Savard or Gronberg.

[wonko80]

I'm down for whoever the Stars don't hire, but only after 40 games or so of the coach they do hire.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Agreed. Whatever happens, I just know that it will all be the new coach's fault.

[ScubaSteve]

Told you guys Val was elite

[ScubaSteve]

Fun fact, Val and Nick Paul both have more Stanley cup finals goals than Jamie Benn

[B Kat]

Good game, better than I thought after the first period, but I still hate Colorado enough to root for TB.

[Math]

The two newbie goalies playing for Tampa and Colorado seem to have an acceptable level for the NHL. I'm sticking with my Tampa in 5 prediction.

But those Stanley Cup patches are awful. I'm glad we didn't make to the final.

[slaps]

Nichushkin scored more than Benn or Seguin this year.

I have recency bias.

I'm not rooting for Colorado just simply rooting for Tampa to lose.

[B Kat]

This year rationalization is required. All the teams I like were out early.

[Troy McClure]

You described Nill's 2021 offseason.

[Troy McClure]

Vegas gets rid of a contract in exchange for a dude going on LTIR. Montreal gets a guy on the last year of his deal they'll dump at the deadline as a rental.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

I love the name Dadonov. I'm gonna have my kids call me that.

[slaps]

[ScubaSteve]

Val for Conn Smythe

[Troy McClure]

This isn't a competitive game.

[ScubaSteve]

Someone get Razor on the line because Tampa looks tired

[B Kat]

Yeah, boring.

[Knives Out]

I’m still fairly confident that Tampa will win the series LOL. Will prolly head back to Game 5 in CO tied up at two.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

That's what happened in the last one, but I dunno.

[Math]

And again, everytime Point is not in the line-up, Tampa wins. We didn't know he was anchoring this team since day 1.

And I'm fully on board with Knives: Tampa in 6. Kümper can't win a cup and start again the Niemi's curse.

[B Kat]

Nice to have a more competitive game, but CO still looked more controlled than TB.

Corey F Perry has scored a Stanley cup final goal with 4 teams now.

[ScubaSteve]

Nick Paul has also passed Jamie Benn in Finals scoring by late round Stars draft picks

[Math]

In case you want the watch the game:

[ScubaSteve]

Told you guys Cogliano was clutch

[The Frugal Gourmet]

I'm calling it.

Colorado is the magical team of destiny. They even regenerated Cogliano's game.
